Companies in the electronics and computer sector generally did well in the
rankings, with six out of 12 scoring 50 points or higher.

Amazon and

scored zero points, in company at the wrong end of the rankings with the likes
of fast-food chains
Burger King
and
Wendy's.
Apple and
eBay did little

"Apple stands out among the scored companies in the [electronics and

corporate action on climate protection."

Despite their superficial appearance of being low-carbon outfits, companies
in the software and internet sector did not score highly.

"Yahoo has been committed to offsetting emissions, but in the Climate Counts
scoring system, offsetting emissions does not earn as many points as other
activities that directly reduce greenhouse gas emissions," said the report.
